Angry Birds Plush Toy Spotted

by Sebastien on Sep 25, 2010

Last month we reported that Angry Birds creators wanted to push their success a bit further by turning the famous birds into a movie and toys. While the movie still seems like a stretch to me, I never doubted we’d see some Angry Birds toys hit the shelves. It seems it’s now just a matter of time.

Some guy was walking the streets of NY when he saw a woman carrying a box of Angry Birds plush toys. He snapped a picture and asked her more about the toys. Apparently they will be in stores early 2011… Read More

 

Apple Releases iTunes 10.0.1 [Jailbreak Safe]

by Sebastien on Sep 25, 2010

Apple just released the first update to iTunes 10 with this version 10.0.1. This is a just a minor update that fixes the usual bugs but also brings Ping to the sidebar. The Ping Sidebar basically gives you a quick glance at your Ping activity. Nothing earth shattering here.

It’s worth noting that iTunes 10.0.1 is safe for jailbroken iPhones. More info about the update below… Read More

There’s been a bunch of new jailbreak apps popping up in Cydia within the last 24 hours. The thing is, they’re not all that great so instead of giving them full coverage, I thought I’d put them all in one short and convenient list.

A Very Nice iPhone Lockscreen

by Sebastien on Sep 25, 2010

You might remember my post about TypoPhone 4 last month, which I think is a very nice iPhone lockscreen. Turns out a developer has decided to improve it by adding some colors and tweaking the layout a little bit. This new lockscreen theme is called Slanted Lock and is available in Cydia under the ModMyI repo.

The result is very nice and quite colorful. It displays the weather of your selected location, and the background changes with the weather. Very neat! Read More

For the new South Park season starting next month, Comedy Central made a parody of the iPad ads. This is pretty funny… that is if you like South Park of course.

I was doing a little bit of cleaning on my desk today and I found this iPhone case for 3GS. It was hiding under a pile of papers and other unnecessary documents.

CEO Hints Against a 2011 Verizon iPhone

by Guest Author on Sep 24, 2010

The thing we love about rumors is also the thing we hate about them. They change every day. This has been truer nowhere else than in the Verizon iPhone hoopla. It’s truly the story that just won’t find a resolution and here we are.

Computer World has a lengthy update about the possibility and state of the 2011 Verizon iPhone. It isn’t happening. If it is going to happen it will not be until the carrier gets their 4G network up and running… Read More

 

Best iPhone Proposal Ever

by Sebastien on Sep 24, 2010

I remember when I proposed to my fiancee almost a year ago. I was nowhere near as creative as Chad was by making this awesome geeky video.

Using the iPhone and iPhone apps only, Chad came up with this video that he managed to get played at his local movie theater, which happened to be the place where he and his fiancee Vy got their first dates. The video started playing and she apparently knew right away what was going on. The rest is history… Read More

 

Brits Look to Make a Dollar Off the iPhone

by Guest Author on Sep 24, 2010

You have to love the mind of the opportunist. Always lurking in the weeds just waiting to strike the opportunity at the chance of making some money. That’s exactly what’s going on over in Britain.

9 to 5 Mac reports that the folks across the pond are lining up to buy brand new iPhone 4s and then sell them back to China (where they are made), unlocked at a higher price. The same thing is happening in New York where the New York Times is quoted saying the following about the “grey” market back and forth: Read More
